GEAR RENTAL

If you're considering kiting for more than just a few days, then we recommend you bring your own kiteboarding kit as the cost of hiring adds up fast.

FULL KIT: (kite, boards & line, boards & harness) is $110 per day

BOARD ONLY: $35 per day

KITE (& BAR) ONLY: $70 per day

Daily rentals are on a sunrise to sunset clock.

SIze wise - a rider of 75-80kg will be looking at a 12m kite for much of the thermal season (Feb-May). In March, you might be getting out a 9m for a few hours in the late afternoon.

There is a variety of kit available to rent. Let us know your requirements in advance so that we can check if we have what you want before you arrive.

Please note that you are fully responsible for any equipment you rent. If any damages occurs during your rental period you will be required to pay for the damage, and if the equipment ends up completely fubar then you are required to pay the monetary value of the damaged items.

WIND REPORTS

None of the wind forecasts (Windguru or Windfinder) are terribly reliable for the thermal season. Wind conditions at this time of year are generally predicated on more local weather patterns, including the build up of storms in the interior. The reports below should be used as a rough guide only. The best way to get a wind report is to go down to the beach, check the sky and base a forecast on observation. Or speak to a local fisherman - they are the best weather forecasters around!
